Hey there!

It´s my first time here, and my english is not the best, so please cary over with me.

I have read some of thise beginner-guides, but i only want some help on wich hardware i sould choose! (maybee later i will try overclocking myself)

I have P4 Northwood 2,0GHz in mind, but wich motherboard sould i choose. Ofcurse i want the most stabil and most overclocking-freindly board there exist today.

Personally I have never owned enything else than Asus. So if i did'nt have heard about this site i would have bayed a Asus P4T-E.

Eny1 who want to help?

Ah, a fellow Dane in here! Velkommen!

Do you have any experience in overclocking? The ASUS boards are good, no doubt about that. Very stable as well.

You could look into Abit and EPoX as well. If you are into overclocking, why not get a Northwood 1.6 or 1.8 and OC it to something in between 2.1 and 2.5... it should save you a couple of thousand DKR's.

I would get a board with DDR RAM if I were you. Check out these:

Abit BD7 (~1700 DKR)
Asus P4S333 ATX (~1200 DKR)
EPoX EP-4SDA+ ATX (~1350 DKR)

All have DDR RAM and Northwood support.

You can find them all on www.edbpriser.dk, with current pricing. All three boards have overclocking options.

Good luck!

Feel free to ask any questions, or e-mail me directly if you want more info in Danish instead of English.

Prior to what Allan said, I'd go with the BD7, Some Good DDR Ram, and the 1.6a.

The BD7 has some excellent potential in overclocking, and the 1.6a will reach 2.2gig or around there.
